Spring Garden Tour & Plant Exchange with Expo

The Plant Exchange is an opportunity for people to bring plants from their gardens and swap them out for something new from someone else’s garden, and we would love to have you participate with that as well. We have some people that bring several plants and others that bring just one, and the City usually contributes some plants as well as small containers and soil for re-potting.

If you have California native plants that you would like to donate to the exchange please come and bring your plants.
